Having your daughter being asked out on a date by the waiter in a restaurant. She asked him if the staff got to keep their tips and when he replied that they did she handed over a tenner. Cocky young lad, he asked if he could swap the tip for an evening out.
I had to admire his chutzpah and told him as much.
A tenner tip ?
Just had to have a lie down
10%, i left £20 tip last week on my lads Birthday meal out.

Forget the tips - did the waiter get his date ?

The reply was something along the lines of, 'Take the tip, because I have a boyfriend'
It was quite a good comeback, in fairness.

I'll take 50% of the credit.
She's not too bad. She's taking me to Italy in Jan, so that I can get a matching tattoo to hers.

On another forum I'm on, I just got a PM offering me 2 VIP passes for next week's F1 at Slipperystone. I checked he'd got the right person. He said we'd had a little spat online over Hamilton, but he'd made the offer after the spat. I searched back and it was last December.
I said it was too much hassle this year. He said he gets 6 every year, so we agreed I can have 2 for next year.
VIP entry. Start line walkabout and McClaren hospitality. Free grandstand

Mindless, moronic bigotry. Or more specifically, the British way of responding to it....
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-57816588
One narrow-minded bell end defaces a mural with racist insults. A ground swell of spontaneous decency creates a response that says far more about about this country than any study ever could.
Proud to be British, even if we do have our fair share of home-grown idiots to deal with

Were they racist insults? I've seen it implied but not said in the media so it may have just said "Rashford couldn't hit this wall to save the final".
As for the racist abuse, did it come from England or somewhere else in the world?
Edit: Found it, there were no racist insults on the mural.
